September 2025 Member of the Month: Sydney Scanlon

We are excited to announce UMD AMA’s Member of the Month, Sydney Scanlon! Sydney is a junior at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, double-majoring in Marketing and Psychology. Members earn this recognition for exceptional participation in the UMD AMA, demonstrated through strong attendance, active involvement, and dedication to advancing the club’s mission and community.

Sydney joined AMA to strengthen her marketing skills and learn from a knowledgeable, driven community. What has kept her involved is the meaningful connections she’s formed and the leadership experience she’s gained, most notably in her role as Director of Membership Retention and Acquisition.

Sydney’s long-term interests lie in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and its intersection with marketing. She is passionate about understanding how people think, work, and make decisions within organizations and as consumers. Last summer, she gained hands-on experience through an internship, where she applied these concepts, and she continues to explore them as part of an I-O Psychology research lab on campus.

Congratulations to Sydney! We’re thrilled to celebrate her achievements and can’t wait to see her continue to grow within the AMA community.
